A Cow writes "As an act of self-defense, the popular BitTorrent site isoHunt has decided to file a petition to ask the Court of British Columbia to confirm that isoHunt -and sister sites Torrentbox and Podtropolis- do not infringe copyright. isoHunt owner Gary explains to TorrentFreak: "Our petition summarizes BitTorrent technology, its open nature and a whole ecosystem of websites and operators that has developed around it, that CRIA does not own copyright to all files distributed over BitTorrent or on isoHunt websites, and we seek legal validation that we can continue to innovate within this emerging BitTorrent ecosystem on the Internet.""

This MAY be helpful. I certainly sympathize with isoHUNT but judges and the legal system are not known for their understanding. What if they get it wrong?
